State police have arrested a Danbury man on child pornography charges.

A 43-year-old Danbury man is facing charges after investigators found child pornography files on his computer, according to police.

John W. Lefflbine, of Mountainville Road in Danbury, was arrested Friday following a months-long search during which police combed through his computer files and identified photos and videos depicting child pornography, state police said.

The investigation was launched in December 2013 when law enforcement traced suspected child pornography files back to Lefflbine and said he was sharing them on the Internet.

Police searched his home in February and confiscated computer equipment, on which they found child pornography.

Lefflbine has been charged with promoting a minor in an obscene performance and first-degree possession of child pornography. Bond was set at $2,500 and he’s due in court July 21.
